Chapter 13: Mysterious Yao Beast, Sect Master Goes Missing

Returning outside his Immortal Cave, Han Jue first Legacy the Sevenfold Illusory Steps.

He had to enhance his strength first to avoid meeting with misfortune.

[Movement Technique Unrivaled: Movement technique Aptitude is top-tier]

Relying on this Innate Luck, Han Jue completely mastered the Sevenfold Illusory Steps in just one hour.

This movement technique had a total of seven layers. For every layer practiced and produced, an afterimage could be differentiated. Seven layers of afterimages could confuse enemies, making it impossible for them to distinguish who the real body was. Utilizing this movement technique could also greatly increase his escape speed.

After learning it, Han Jue returned to the Immortal Cave to pack his things, and then headed towards the inner sect city.

First, he went to the task building to claim a task, and then proceeded to the Demon Pet Building.

…

Inside Jade Serenity Hall.

Fairy Xixuan expressionlessly stared at Elder Tie on the hall, slowly speaking, "This seat doesn't want to bicker about the past between you and Han Jue. From now on, you two are Senior Brother and Junior Sister, you must respect him and revere him. Based on this seat's understanding of him, he won't scheme against you either, you can rest assured."

Elder Tie knelt in the hall, sighed, and slowly nodded.

"From now on, Han Jue will be a Personal Disciple of Yuyou Peak. Establishing a good relationship with him will only be beneficial to you. As long as it is not a feud to the death, resolve it if it can be resolved."

Fairy Xixuan's words shocked Elder Tie.

A Personal Disciple!

Fairy Xixuan valued Han Jue this much?

At the thought of Han Jue's Breakthrough speed, he fell silent.

That kid truly lived up to it!

…

Stepping out of the teleportation magical formation, Han Jue arrived at the Myriad Demon Realm.

The sky of the Myriad Demon Realm was overcast with dark clouds, as if a torrential rain could pour down at any moment.

Han Jue took out his Flying Sword and began flying on the sword.

According to the instructions of the Demon Pet Building Disciple, he first had to find the pavilion of Yuyou Peak, which would be his garrisoned location. This pavilion had Restriction mechanisms, and ordinary Yao Beasts wouldn't dare to approach.

Of course, he couldn't hide in the pavilion all the time. If he encountered a Yao Beast riot, he had to take action to reduce losses for the Jade Purity Sect.

The Yao pets in the Myriad Demon Realm were all bought by the Jade Purity Sect at a high price, and nurturing them also consumed a large amount of resources.

That pavilion was not far from the teleportation magical formation, and Han Jue quickly found it.

The pavilion had two layers and wasn't very large. Inside the house, it was empty with not a single person around.

After familiarizing himself with the Restriction mechanisms, Han Jue began to sit cross-legged and Cultivate.

Long and tedious cultivation began once again!

A year and a half passed swiftly.

Han Jue was already fifty years old.

[View Interpersonal Relationships]

…

The Wind Spiritual Root had been cultivated by him to the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Aside from the Lightning Spiritual Root, the other Spiritual Roots were still at the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Han Jue had nothing to do and clicked on interpersonal relationships to check.

Mo Zhu had unexpectedly broken through to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm.

A bit interesting.

Elder Tie was still at the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Han Jue clicked on the mail to check.

[Your friend Mo Zhu was attacked by a demonic cultivator, nearly suffering heavy injuries]

[Your friend Mo Zhu was attacked by a Jade Purity Sect Disciple, hanging by a thread, and fell off a cliff]

Han Jue was speechless.

Sure enough, that Immortal Cave had tricks; luckily he didn't go.

Mo Zhu, that lass, was too miserable. Han Jue could only silently pray for her.

"Roar—"

A roar suddenly came from outside the pavilion. Han Jue frowned and immediately stood up.

Walking out the front door, he saw a white cat standing on a tree branch.

This white cat had a slender figure, yet it had white tiger patterns, and its purple eyes appeared even more eerie.

Han Jue didn't sense any danger, so he paid no more attention to the little white cat.

Right at this moment!

The white cat suddenly pounced towards Han Jue.

Han Jue instinctively executed the Sevenfold Illusory Steps to dodge.

The white cat crashed into the pavilion wall, kicked off with its four legs, turned around, and continued to pounce towards Han Jue.

Han Jue frowned. The Restriction hadn't been triggered?

He swiftly jumped out and arrived at the open space.

The white cat pounced over once again, its speed several times faster than before, swift as lightning.

"So fast!"

Han Jue executed the Sevenfold Illusory Steps, dividing out seven afterimages to surround the white cat. All seven Han Jues raised their hands simultaneously and fired the Divine Sword Finger.

The white cat looked left and right, caught off guard as it was struck by the true Sword Qi.

Fresh blood splattered, and it let out a wail.

It swiftly leaped away, directly darted into the woods, and disappeared from sight.

Han Jue withdrew his hands and returned inside the pavilion.

He let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Luckily he had learned the Sevenfold Illusory Steps in advance; otherwise, given the white cat's speed, his previous self truly wouldn't have been a match for it.

"What is the background of that white cat? Its speed is so fast, good thing it didn't have other means of attack."

Han Jue thought silently.

It seemed he had to be more cautious in the future.

Thinking of this, Han Jue continued Cultivating.

…

Inside a palace.

The teaching Elders of the Eighteen Peaks gathered here.

"The Sect Master is not here, and recently the Yao Beasts of the Myriad Demon Realm have rioted. It must be investigated by us," an Elder spoke.

He was the teaching Elder of Heavenly Thunder Peak, Old Immortal Dao Lei.

"This matter is rather peculiar; I always feel it is related to the Azure Nether Demonic Cult."

"That's right, demonic cultivators from the Azure Nether Demonic Cult have appeared in Li Qianlong's nearby Immortal Cave. I suspect there are traitors among our higher-ups. The moment the Sect Master left, they began a series of actions."

"Could it be that the Azure Nether Demonic Cult wants to utilize the Yao Beasts of the Myriad Demon Realm?"

"Very likely. After two hundred years of nurturing by the Jade Purity Sect, the Myriad Demon Realm is already a force that cannot be underestimated."

"Let's dispatch more Disciples to enter the Myriad Demon Realm."

The Elders chimed in all at once.

Fairy Xixuan sat quietly without interjecting.

After discussing for quite a while, in the end, each peak decided to dispatch two more Disciples to enter the Myriad Demon Realm.

The Elders departed individually. Just as Fairy Xixuan was preparing to leave, Old Immortal Dao Lei suddenly called out to her.

When only the two of them remained in the hall, Old Immortal Dao Lei finally spoke and asked, "Junior Sister, why didn't you say anything just now?"

Fairy Xixuan calmly replied, "You guys can just decide these matters."

Old Immortal Dao Lei narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you know where the Sect Master took those eighteen Core Disciples?"

Fairy Xixuan did not answer.

"If there really are traitors among the Elders, then the only one I can trust is you, Junior Sister. You and I must join forces," Old Immortal Dao Lei said earnestly.

Fairy Xixuan replied, "That is naturally the case. After all, you and I stem from the same lineage."

Old Immortal Dao Lei smiled with satisfaction.

…

Myriad Demon Realm.

Two years had passed since the white cat left. Han Jue's five-element spiritual power had all reached the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Advancing steadily!

He could be considered to have crossed the halfway mark towards the Golden Core Realm.

"Little friend, are you treating the Myriad Demon Realm as a place for cultivation?"

A bantering voice came over. Han Jue opened his eyes to look and discovered an old man had appeared at the doorway at some unknown time.

This old man wore crude cloth garments, shook a wine gourd in his hand, and his nose was flushed red from drunkenness.

Han Jue frowned and asked, "Your Excellency, who are you?"

He actually hadn't sensed the other party approaching.

Too dangerous!
